Chapter 890: Chapter 890: An Old Acquaintance Seeking Pills
The next day, after Zhu Fei thoroughly cleaned his entire market stall, he finally displayed the primary focus of his business.
Claiming it as the primary business focus might be an exaggeration, as from start to finish, Zhu Fei only had one label, which was to offer First Grade Immortal Pill alchemy services.
Besides that, Zhu Fei only had a few bottles of Level 9 or Level 8 Cultivation World pills on his stall, without anything else.
It wasn’t that Zhu Fei didn’t want to use a few First Grade Immortal Pills as a gimmick, he simply didn’t have any.
Even the Immortal Ascension Pill he made at the beginning, he had given to Ye Haitang through his avatar before ascending, leaving himself only one to use for his tribulation and ascension.
Given these circumstances, the situation at Zhu Fei’s stall was more or less predictable.
For two whole days, almost no one visited Zhu Fei’s stall. Even the occasional passersby, upon seeing Zhu Fei’s cultivation level, shook their heads and left.
It’s a joke; how could a kid who hasn’t even fully transformed his Immortal Essence possibly make a First Grade Immortal Pill?
The real foolish purchase would be handing over materials only to end up with the word "failure."
This situation continued for another two days. By the afternoon of the fifth day, even Zhu Fei was losing hope, when finally a slight turn of events occurred.
A white-haired woman appeared in front of Zhu Fei’s stall. She was veiled and had a slender, graceful figure, but an air of bloodiness seemed to faintly emanate from around her.
Initially, the white-haired woman seemed not to notice Zhu Fei’s appearance, and with a "bang," she tossed a storage bag directly onto Zhu Fei’s stall, coldly commanding:
"Shopkeeper, help me refine a Blood Revival Pill. I’ll give you two thousand five hundred Low-Grade Immortal Crystals. Does that work?"
The woman’s voice was not small, immediately drawing the attention of some onlookers around, some of whom couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"Did I hear wrong? Wanting someone to refine a Blood Revival Pill for two thousand five hundred Low-Grade Immortal Crystals, does this woman have something wrong with her brain?"
"Indeed, Blood Revival Pill is considered one of the best healing Immortal Pills among all First Grade Immortal Pills. Normally, even five thousand Low-Grade Immortal Crystals might not be enough for one, and yet this woman only wants to pay two and a half thousand. I can only chuckle at this..."
"Cough, cough... Can you all stop focusing on that woman? Look at that stall, what’s it called... Yeah, Yue Dan Pill Shop, haha! How can a kid who hasn’t fully transformed his Immortal Essence be capable of refining a Blood Revival Pill?"
"Eh? It seems to be true, indeed. This really is something, with these two top-grade people together, there’s really a good show to watch."
...
Both the white-haired woman and Zhu Fei seemed indifferent to the crowd’s mockery.
However, when Zhu Fei turned around and their eyes met, they both exclaimed in surprise: "It’s you!"
Afterward, Zhu Fei reacted first.
He glanced at the white-haired woman, and suddenly frowned slightly, saying: "Tianxing, how did you end up so severely injured? By the way, how did you get here? Did you also participate in that Holy War Secret Realm back then?"
Indeed, the white-haired woman standing in front of Zhu Fei at that moment was none other than the Tianxing Venerable who previously requested Zhu Fei to refine the Immortal Ascension Pill.
At Zhu Fei’s words, a hint of surprise first flashed in Tianxing’s eyes, but she promptly nodded with a bit of helplessness.
"Zhu Fei, it’s great to see you here. You’re right; I indeed participated in the Holy War Secret Realm back then. As for my injuries now, they were caused by the one-horned blood-faced bat."
Saying this, Tianxing glanced at the storage bag she put out, a trace of embarrassment flashing in her eyes.
In fact, the main reason she came to Zhu Fei for alchemy this time was because she was running out of Immortal Crystals.
Earlier, she heard from others that there was a stall here capable of refining First Grade Immortal Pills.
However, this stall was unreliable, and its owner hadn’t even transformed his Immortal Essence yet.
So Tianxing wondered if getting this stall to refine a pill for her might be cheaper.
Anyway, her Immortal Crystals were far from enough to purchase a perfect Blood Revival Pill.
Since it was like this, she might as well risk it; at worst, she’d lose nothing significant by trying.
However, what Tianxing didn’t expect at all was that the unreliable stall owner in others’ words turned out to be Zhu Fei.
Tianxing, naturally, had no concerns about Zhu Fei’s alchemy skills.
Back then, when Zhu Fei was just a Tribulation Crossing Practitioner, he already successfully refined the First Grade Immortal Pill, Immortal Ascension Pill.
Now that he had ascended, although his Immortal Essence wasn’t entirely transformed, his alchemy skills, compared to before, would surely be more formidable.
Yet, precisely because of this, when Tianxing realized the person before her was Zhu Fei, the awkwardness naturally clouded her mind.
As if seeing through Tianxing’s thoughts, Zhu Fei slightly smiled and remarked:
"By the way, Tianxing, since you wish to refine a Blood Revival Pill here, I wonder if the ingredients are ready?"
Hearing Zhu Fei say this, Tianxing immediately grasped his meaning, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes, and she promptly nodded:
"Rest assured, Zhu Fei. I have placed all the ingredients for refining the Blood Revival Pill in this storage bag. You can check them carefully."
"Alright."
Zhu Fei nodded, casually picked up the storage bag, and scanned its contents with his Divine Sense, immediately understanding everything.
Until now, besides the Immortal Ascension Pill, Zhu Fei hadn’t refined many other types of Immortal Pills.
Just a few days ago, he was still unfamiliar with many names of the Immortal Spirit Medicines in the Immortal Realm.
But that wasn’t the point. The point was that with Zhu Fei’s current strength, successfully refining a First Grade Immortal Pill posed no problem at all.
So Zhu Fei took out a Dao Artifact Pill Furnace, first signaling to Tianxing, then suddenly clasped his fists towards her and loudly declared:
"Dear friend, as you are the first customer at Yue Dan Pill Shop, I’ve decided to refine pills for you at no cost. In other words, I’ll refine them for free."
He paused briefly, waiting until he had successfully drawn the surrounding onlookers’ attention before continuing:
"Moreover, I promise that from now on, if anyone else wants me to refine pills, I’ll only charge thirty percent of the pill’s price. That means a pill worth one thousand Low-Grade Immortal Crystals will only cost three hundred for me to refine."
